I admit I didn't read the article throughly, but surely if it's impossiblely thin it can't exist. I only bring this up because I'm an obnoxious pedant.
i just read the title and it sounds like it will freeze people to death
I would require a wet T shirt contest to really see and compare.
Same. Guess I won't bother looking into it if it's impossible 🤷♀️
"This is thin."
"Impossibly thin!"
"No... I'm pretty sure it's possible considering we are holding it right this very second."
We can make materials as thin as one atom. It's just very expensive.
Can't you make one atom thin sheets of carbon with a pencil and tape?
Yes, you can, but your sheet will be very small. If you want to make a sheet large enough to make a shirt, things get ridiculously expensive.
Yeah but he was being pedantic over the word "impossibly". If we can make 1 atom thin sheets, then it's not impossible, right?
